I must say that until blogs starting coming in I’d failed to see similarity - in message anyway – between my piece and the Virginia Woolf short entitled Solid Objects in which a collector of ‘found objects’ becomes ‘lost’ within his obsessive hobby. For further research Solid Objects was parodied/reinterpreted(?) in a column by Michael Frayn entitled The Subject of Objects!<br />Drowning by Numbers is fiction and so contains its own truth, but outside of that my attention was recently (post writing) caught by a TV prog on the Lusitania which suggested that the second explosion – if not caused by ignition of one of its 25 boilers, or by coal dust flash – might have been gun cotton being transported to The Western Front. Passengers had – on ticket purchase - received official warning that attack from U boats couldn’t be ruled out, but the voyage was civilian-only and no mention was made of cargo that might have been controversial. If that were so then the covert shipping of explosives might be considered as great a war crime against the passengers as the pushing of the torpedo button was. Though the wreck lies in only 300 feet of water it’s super-murky, hazardous to access, and a grave, so we may never know the truth! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142492723192523556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155197540326010032.post-63369204295179363272016-08-30T20:08:40.082+01:002016-08-30T20:08:40.082+01:00The topic is very original and compelling.

The complexities of Otto's unusual psyche render tangible that which might otherwise be dismissed. A fine read, thank you, Brooke,<br />CeinwenAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145727006327466838noreply@blogger.com
